Why You Should Forgive People Who Hurt You | Vishen Lakhiani

Do you find it difficult to forgive people who've hurt you?

Well you may not be doing yourself or your brain any favors by holding onto that hurt. Being able to forgive and let go has a much bigger impact on our physiological well-being than any of us might realize.

Vishen went through an extremely difficult time in his life where someone had been tremendously hurtful towards him... but when he forgave them, something amazing happened.

When you get to the end of it all you realise that the person you need to forgive the most is yourself. Now that is a mountain to climb but the view is indeed worth it all.

Absolutely beautiful. Our body hasn't made in a way that it can hold grudges and bad feeling about other person. It's better to let it go and move on. That way our life will be more fruitful and prosperous. Holding on things make us weak and sad and give us negative energy. You can't change what has happened but you can definitely change your future by staying positive.

We need to forgive others of the harm they caused us because it is only through forgiveness can we ourselves move on with life.

I recently decided to forgive someone who has been hurting me for a number of years. I've been trying to forgive them for a long time, but I could never quite get there. I really had to try and understand their motives and their situation. I finally made a breakthrough, it wasn't easy. But I knew I did it because one day, I woke up and I just felt so light, like something was lifted. I felt no pain. And suddenly, I saw things very clearly in my business. I made a decision in my business that paid dividends. My relationship with my family also changed. And there was no doubt in my mind that all these changes in my life was a direct result from forgiving this person. It made me realize that in all that time I couldn't forgive this person, I was only harming myself- and in ways I didn't think would have any connection.

One of the best speech I’ve ever heard

[nawan]

If you understand why the other person did something bad with you, you will be thankful to GOD that you are not on this person situation.. You must forgive to understand your emotion which is very strong, and soon you forgive you feel light. It is not important that you will have relationship with this person again.When you forgive, all benefits is yours.

Simple: We need to forgive because its poisonous to our hearts, minds and spirit. Karma will catch up with them someday, that's for sure. Releasing the poison from ourselves is difficult because just as it took time to get there, it will take time to leave. This lifetime for me has been about forgiveness of those who hurt me, it's not about being with them again or re-befriend them, but to release them for my own well-being. Sometimes a whole lifetime isn't enough to release all that poison but we do our best. Namaste

i had horrible experiences in childhood and adolescence. Most of them, I have overcome with meditation. Still some are there, even at my age of 73yrs. Definitely mediation helps

It is very true that hurt people, hurt people. Is it possible to truly forgive and have empathy if you choose not to want to be in the presence of the people that hurt you. Aren't you in a sense holding onto the forgiveness and pain. People say that forgiveness in not for the other person. I say it is. If I openly express forgiveness there comes expectations from the person being forgiven. I don't believe that people do not want to forgive others. I believe that the idea of expectations and the possibility of further hurt stops them. Forgiveness is also acceptance. Acceptance of another person and their behavior. Sometimes you don't want to accept certain behaviors or energy in your space and it gets more complicated when others can't except your choices. It then becomes easier not to accept or forgive. I believe the most valuable traits to have is self awareness, respect of others and self respect. With these traits we can easily give people the space they need to I have been wanting to express this for a long time. What's your thoughts?

[toyonda]

Damn, Vishen, that is one heck of an incredible

[PatrickBarnaby]

Wow! This is a very powerful message.

"Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you." - Ephesians 4:32

"Judge not, that ye be not judged." - Mathew 7:1
"For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again." - Mathew 7:2

[martilives]

Forgive only when it’s truly born in your heart to do so...don’t force it..hate and anger are normal processes as well and should be experienced and overcome..again in a natural way...you hold the power always and are loved regardless

[tarunesh]

I have found a good way to forgive people is to everyday for 2 weeks, wish for them all that you want for yourself in this life. It helps.

[dionanderson]

[mr.salwanian]

[annisasabrina]

Wow i didnt expect this. Now i know the how powerful forgiveness is. I need to forgive myself, my parents, my sister and everything that weigh me down to be able to let go. Often i forget that you need to forgive to

[minaljadhav]

It is inspiring by forgiving who have hurt us, we free ourselves. But when implementation comes it becomes difficult job. Certain blocks are sooo deep which has turned in scars. I’ll definitely practise forgiveness.

[nicoler]

This is one of the most beautiful and powerful speech I have ever heard. I am one of those persons that has a hard time forgiving people that have hurt in the past and, even in my preset right now I see those people that hurt me and I cant forgive them becuase, I am still hurt.
